How to load/save multiple configurations from/to file with dynamic_reconfigure
Background
I am rather new to ROS and very new to this site. Hope I have managed to provide enough information and manage to explain my idea. I might very well be doing things in a wrong manner if this is the case then could you point me to a better path. I am using ROS Indigo on Ubuntu 14.04.3.
What am I doing
I am using a tool built on ROS that has tens of parameters I can change using dynamic_reconfigure
. As I go along using the module I find a configuration that is of interest. I want to explore it in the future or let others see the same settings. So I write it in my project notes. When I return I will explore some of the configurations I have found - find them in my notes and apply them via dynamic_reconfigure
.
What I want to do
I want to simplify my life in storing/loading the configurations from files. I know that I could change the package defaults and use rosmake/catkin but this does not seam feasible solution. I would imagine it to be something like a button that writes out the configuration at that particular moment and a command line option for loading custom default values. But I am not sure if that is the most ROS way to do it.
What have I found
I have done some googling but have not found a tool for doing this. I did find this topic from answers.ros this indicates that there are at least some (undocumented) functions for handling similar data.
